If it's my post you were referring to regarding backing tracks, then not only can you borrow the tracks...you can keep them! just let me know which ones you'd like

Cheers

so is this turning into a karaoke competition now?

PS. Are we limited to one entry each?

 

[scaramanga2]

PS. Are we limited to one entry each?

no, but I suggest you only turn in one entry, because if you win you need another one for the next round..

 

[Canadiens1131]

Well put me down for round 1.

 

[LemonMelon]

I'm gonna wait one more day for more people to enter, I really think it's a great experience and you get to discover your own talent or measure youself with other people, so don't miss this opportunity

 

[phillyfan26]

Throw me in as a maybe if I can get a solo recording together.

The deadline is over. There will be 6 battles, one per each day, but I decided to do a double elimination contest to give the contestants more opportunities to win. After the first round, there's gonna be a loss round, and then we will move to the second round. You can access the bracket on this link http:// www.bracketmaker.com/tlist.cfm?tid=190975

All members must upload their entry to any server before deadline, and then send the link to me, to this e-mail kerplunk_o@hotmail.com

Everyday, I will make a new thread to each battle, post the links to the songs and make a poll for all members to vote. At 10 pm PST the voting will be closed and there will be a winner.

For each round you can either make a new entry or send the old one, but it's better if you have more than one.

The first battle is MrBrau1 vs Bono_212, on monday the 3rd, so please send me your entries before that.

Hey! I said I wanted to be in!
...

No one answered my question so I wasn't sure of what counted as a cover...

Does only recording a guitar track onto a backing track and no singing count as a cover?

I have a few of those.

Oh well, next time then...

 

[phillyfan26]

Put him in for me, I can't do it.

 

[tpsreports2424]

This is getting exciting

 

[scaramanga2]

ok, the_edge89 enters for phillyfan26

 

[MrBrau1]

I think I just heard the winning track.

And it's not mine.

 

[phillyfan26]

How will you provide us with the choices? Multiple formats? For instance, my computer only downloads s a v e f i le s as opposed to y s i 's or s e nd s pa c e's.

 

[LemonMelon]

I can hardly wait.

I've got my best cover coming up first. I have literally album(s) of U2 covers, so coming up with a few good ones won't be any trouble.

 

[bono_212]

omg i'm first ...Ok, time to get on this

 

[am22884]

Good luck to the first two contestants. Glad im not up first

Good job scaramanga2 for putting this together.

Maybe I can open a myspace account and each day upload the next two songs, but then the file couldn't be bigger than 6 mb

Ouch...
Then I'll already have to sacrifice something badass as well I guess.

 

[bono_212]

wait...you're using someone ELSE's cover?

 

[LemonMelon]

wait...you're using someone ELSE's cover?

No, they're mine I assure you.

Hi,

If it helps, having thought about it, I'm probably going to have to drop out so Rafiennes can take my place if you want.

I'm going to be away from the 4th to 13th Dec and I'm unlikely to get a chance to record anything for subsequent rounds (assuming I was ever going to get that far lol). And I'm going to be very busy for the week after I get back too so I probably wouldn't get much chance to focus on this when I get back either.

 

[scaramanga2]

OK, so Rafiennes you're in! I have updated the bracket now
